BOISE, Idaho — The Ada County Sheriff’s Office has released a video of a person of interest in an attack on a female jogger last November.

Detectives say the person seen in the surveillance video is wearing clothes similar to what the woman described her attacker was wearing that morning.

The woman told deputies she was jogging on W. Brogan Drive just before 6:30 a.m. on Nov. 30, 2018, when she was attacked from behind by a man who grabbed her around the neck. The man was wearing grey sweatpants and a sweatshirt with a dark-colored beanie or hood over his head.

The woman fought to get away and was knocked to the ground. She lost consciousness while lying in the street. Evidence suggests she was sexually assaulted while unconscious.

The surveillance video was taken at 6:39 a.m. that same morning, less than a half-mile from where the attack occurred.

Detectives would like to speak with the person in the video. Anybody who recognizes this person is urged to call Detective Shellie Strolberg at 208-577- 3788 or send an email to sstrolberg@adacounty.id.gov.

Detectives say they have pursued dozens of leads since the November attack and are continuing their investigation.

The woman failed to get a good look at the attacker’s face, but she did get a good look at his clothes. The man’s age, ethnicity, hair and skin color are unknown.
